Labor MP criticises offshore wind farms as an ‘unacceptable risk’ to flora and fauna

Labor’s renewable energy target “nonsense” sparks debate as Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek says offshore wind farms are an “unacceptable risk” for the local flora and fauna, Sky News host Caleb Bond says. “Speaking of nonsense … Labor’s renewable energy target, would seem to be in a bit of trouble now,” Mr Bond said. “Federal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek, she has blocked this offshore wind farm terminal … which Victoria considers crucial to their renewable energy job down there. “She says it is an unacceptable risk to local flora and fauna. “I’ve argued all along that all of this stuff … it’s actually terrible for the environment so maybe on that token they have actually woken up to this for once.”
